Not much to say here, other than I was gonna put this in Chp-34 but thought it would take up way too much space. Also, I feel like I have to say this, but this list was AI-generated. I wanted a series of titles with little blurbs, but it's late as hell and I don't have the time nor patience. Each of these Ranks and their Specialist lateral ranks are part of the Guild, and I've combed over them to ensure that they actually fit fairly well. Also, the Specialist ranks are not super common, and are also more of a taste of the kinds of Specialist ranks that might exist. While any Omake's should try to stick to the regular Ranks, feel free to come up with new specialist ranks.

As an assurance, I will say this. I DO NOT use AI to write my stories. AI to me is a tool, one that I do use for creative assistance but never as a writing tool.

I sometimes describe a character's situation to the AI and ask it to imagine itself in said situation, and how it would get out. The answers are often very logical, and not at all human, which lets me see where character flaws could play out. I also use AI for name generation, or to help fill in the blanks of worldbuilding, like this, or in my original work I use it to make gangs or companies to fill out the political landscape.

To me, AI is a sounding board and tool, but I NEVER use it to write any of my stories. Every word I type into my chapters is written by me. This list above is my above mentioned use of AI to fill in worldbuilding, not my actual writing.

Over time I will be editing this to be more accurate, as well as adding things like average pay, how many of each rank exist, and so on. The Ranks may even have more detail added in regards to size and the like.

Alright, sorry for the rant, but I felt it necessary to divulge this. I could've just posted this without the AI warning and no one would be the wiser, but that would feel kinda slimy and something of a strike against my integrity as a writer.
